JoshK Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Oh god, how terrible. Â I dont know Frank personally but just the fact that I recognize him as a frequent poster and that I have probably had converstaions with him online make this even more sad.

iain Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hate to see such an experienced guy die that way. That makes me re-evaluate what I'm doing here. It's a strange feeling to have someone gone like that, someone you sort of knew through this place, someone I've "talked" to about things, but obviously didn't know as a person. But by what he wrote here, you could tell there was a good spirit behind those words, a person who will be terribly missed by those who really knew him. Maybe they could write a bit about him to share. I think he was one of the first on this board too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) Wow. I'm so incredibly bummed. I remember a photo a long long time ago that Rodchester posted that I think was one of the most beutiful pictures I've seen. Â Found the picture, this quality doesn't give it justice.

erden Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I need your help guys.  A very credible and professional reporter from Seattle-PI is trying to write a complete story on Frank. She is trying:  *to gather information on the accident, *to reach Adam Heiner and Eric Newman *to find out more about the particular climb and the mountain *to gain feedback from his general climbing partners and friends about Frank as a person, his passions, accomplishments.  Her name is Debera Carlton Harrell, if you had known Frank or had climbed with him, you can write to her at: deberaharrell@seattlepi.com  Let's be kind just as she will for Frank's memory. This is one way that we will honor Frank.  Erden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) I didn't ever meet Rodchester, but he came across as a decent guy who knew a thing or two about climbing...sad news Edited September 8, 2004 by Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 my heart goes out to his family... I do not know what to say.

griz Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Â Erden, Â You might want to try a new thread with a more specific headline that cc.com has lost one of its own and help is needed to find people that knew him better. Probably will get more eyes on it that way. Maybe a moderator could sticky it for you too. Â Good luck. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griz Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Erden, Â Stefan may be very correct in that he did lawyer work for Mountain Madness. I did a google on him and it shows some dispatches he wrote on one of their trips. Might be a good avenue to explore for the reporter.

catbirdseat Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 It was not my intention to disrespect the memory of the dead, but that is how it was taken. Therefore, I apologise for the the inconsiderate remark I made. If there was a point to be made it is this: there are things that can happen to climbers that are beyond our control, no matter how skilled or careful we may be. Rodchester was a good man. RIP.
